One of the major changes in society in the last couple years was the “social distancing”. This affected all of us in different ways. Returning to "normal", whether you feel a burst of activity or a bit of hesitation, regular massage therapy services can serve you find balance, keep calm, and feel great during these changing times.
Returning to body-confidence
According to a study, 51% of people feel the pandemic negatively affected their body image. What types of things do they plan on doing to regain this lost confidence? Most people plan on taking a vacation and getting a massage.
At WAHA, we understand why regular massage services are so popular. It’s well known that one of the effects is an increased ability to have positive feelings about your body no matter what it looks like. Getting a massage can help relieve the stress that might be making you feel discouraged.
Returning to human touch
During the pandemic, many people reported that they missed human contact and were experiencing touch deprivation which can lead to anxiety, depression, and a sense of disconnection with your body. Research shows it doesn’t stop there. Lack of human touch can also compromise our abilities to learn and make decisions.
Touch deprivation can definitely be solved by touch itself. You can reap the benefits of touch from a massage therapist in a healthy and relaxing environment. We want you to be healthy and happy. Make an appointment and take care of your body, brain, and soul. It’s also a great way to support reconnection, focus, calm, and comfort with social situations.
Returning to physical wellness
Regular massage therapy can offer your body many benefits: improved circulation, relief for tight muscles, better circulation and less nerve compression. It also offers other benefits like relaxation and a boost to your energy levels. But did you know therapeutic massage is an incredibly helpful treatment for some conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, muscular dystrophies, Raynaud's disease, hypertension, and congestive heart failure. Massage has also been shown to have benefits related to reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
It’s true! Therapeutic massage, done by a skilled massage therapist and tailored to your needs, can help you get rid of pain and improve over time. So if your self-care routine slipped during the Covid-19 pandemic, consider making regular massage therapy part of your plan for recovery. As always, talk to your medical professional as you make your plan. Let them know that your licensed massage therapist Koray at Waha Massage Studio is trained in therapeutic massage and your regular massage sessions are customized to give you the most benefit possible.
Returning to social life
While we've seen restrictions on social media lifted recently, people still report feeling isolated and social anxiety which have been exacerbated by isolation and social distancing. If you are one of them, therapeutic massage can help! It helps to relax your body, calm your mind and give you the benefits of touch. Making appointments to leave the house is also a great way to go meet new people and explore nearby areas! Voila! Benefits for your body and your social life.
